The winter session Of Peck's Commercial
school closed on Monday evening with An in-
terestins lecture by John A. Peters, I'd, at
the Aldermen's room. ON Commercial Law.
We have room for a brief reference only to Mr..
Peters carefully considered lecture. He said ::
The elementary rules Of law which govern
negotiable instruments stand upon an entirely
different footing than do the ususal principles
Of laws such the many fine points which
arise in conveying lands making wills. In
this commercial time an acquaintance with the
principles which govern the making aud trans
fer OF commercial paper is necessary in the
every day transactions Of business. The mer-
chant paws for his stock by draft; the carpen-
ter gets pay for his work by a check; the lum-
herman too often by order or due-bil; the
farmer i obliged 10 anticipate his crop by dis
counting a note. There is probably no one Of
thi, class who will not at some time and per-
haps many times, become party 10 negotiable
paper. Ignorance of the law excuses no one.
How important it is then that we know some
thing OF the law surrounding transactions with
which we are apt TO be connected The
speaker then proceeded TO give synopsi, OF
~ ~ b.
and due-bil,. including the peculiarties Of
each. their essential requisites. who may make
them and when, the rights aud liabilities OF the
different parties TO them, interest, days Of
grace and time Of payment, all Of which topics
he elaborated. making them very interesting
and instructive.

AN EGYPTIAN ROMANCE.

When our late Minister
10 Egypt was travelling
across the desert, be re
Iates that he rode a camel
which was possessed Of
the most wonderful agil-
itv. This remarkable ami
NAL. he states, would at
times raise his hind hoof
TO his head and scratch
his ear, without missing
a single step. One day,
however, the animal met,
or pretended to meet,
with a mishap. The hoOf
raised to the ear failed TO
connect with the ground
again; in consequence he
fell over, casting me un-
tremendously to the
earth. Upon examina-
ton, it appeared that The
camel had dislocated his
